Why Paul Pogba scared to play at Old Trafford

Pogba has been one of France’s best performers and main players to help his side to reach World Cup semi-final. However, the 25-year-old struggled for the Red Devils last season and was dropped by Jose Mourinho midway through the campaign. According to Alan Shearer, Mourinho is to blame for Pogba’s form at Old Trafford as the Frenchman plays with fear at the club. ‘I think he plays with a freedom in this France team where if he makes a mistake it’s accepted,’ said Shearer. ‘But if he does that in a Man United shirt he looks as if he is scared.’ Anyway, Mourinho still wants to keep Pogba and has signedBrazil star Fred to play a three-man midfiueld of Pogba, Fred and Nemanja Maric.
